Bleav in Louisville

Host John Lund previews Louisville's Week 11 home game against the California Golden Bears and what the Cards need to do to keep their ACC championship and College Football Playoff hopes alive. Also, just one more rant about the first CFP rankings. Not much of a secret on how to stop Cal! It's stopping the arm of lefty freshman QB Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who ranks fourth in the conference in passing yards but is also tied for second in interceptions. His throws can be dazzling or disastrous, and the Cardinals No. 1 conference defense will be hoping for more of the latter. Louisville will have some different names in the backfield, with Isaac Brown out with a hamstring injury but Duke Watson probable to be back from a leg injury. With the ACC championship game and College Football Playoff still up for grabs, UofL can hopefully take care of business. And, one more rant on the first CFP rankings, with two more voices to support our arguments from last episode. Andrea Adelson and David Hale on the Inside ACCess show provided more great insight on the stupidity of Miami being eight spots away from Notre Dame, how that impacts Louisville and where the Cards should have actually been ranked.

We'll go over the highs and lows, what plays stood out to change the game and hear back from what head coach Jeff Brohm had to say about the win.

Host John Lund previews Louisville's Week 10 matchup against Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium and what the Cards can do to beat the Hokies in yet another Battle of the Birds. We'll also hear more of Jeff Brohm's thoughts from beating Boston College and what to expect at VT, as well as how the rest of ACC football fared in Week 9 and what the boys in Vegas think about the conference. It's the same ol' song and dance for how the Cardinals win this game that we've been talking about for weeks now. A smart game from Miller Moss, establishing the running game, slaying the dragon that is a dual-threat quarterback, winning the turnover battle and not committing stupid penalties. Louisville is playing meaningful football in November, something that a lot of teams expected to be coming into the season and are no longer. And, some Louisville teams that maybe had more talent or promise or trust, also did not. Because even with all the hemming and hawing that comes on social media after games, the Cards are still 6-1, and still in position to reach all of their goals.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 38-24 win over Boston College in what was ugly, exciting, boring and thrilling Week 9 win, along with sound from Jeff Brohm's postgame press conference. History thankfully didn't repeat itself with the Cardinals suffering an upset the game immediately after winning by with an upset of their own, though the game certainly was uneasy at times. The running game carried the load, the defense did its job once again and UofL improved to 6-1 and still in the mix to play for an ACC championship. We'll highlight the best and worst moments, react to Coach Brohm's commentary and review individual performances in winning the Battle of the Birds. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Highlights in fall sports include a sweep in women's volleyball, a tough loss in field hockey, a draw in women's soccer, a road trip coming for men's soccer, Athlete of the Week honors in men's cross country and swimming, and retiring Ulysses "Junior" Bridgeman's number in men's basketball.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's devastating 30-27 overtime loss to visiting No. 24 Virginia in Week 6 on Saturday. Highlights of the highs and lows, big plays and game changing moments, and sound from head coach Jeff Brohm's post game press conference help make sense of it all. The Cardinals outgained Virginia's top five offense in the country by 180 yards in the air and almost 150 overall, and lost the game. Virginia had 10 possessions in regulation and scored on just two of them, and still won the game. Louisville senior Chris Bell had 12 catches for 170 yards and scored one more touchdown than Virginia did, and still lost the game. Four plays highlight this game's Unwells for UofL: the scoop and score and Pick-Six, the missed field goal to end the first half, and a 3rd and 20 that didn't actually have to happen and resulted in UVA's lone offensive touchdown. Louisville now falls to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the ACC, basically needing to win-out or have a lot of help along the way to make it to the ACC championship game, with Miami the first opponent on deck after another bye week.
